Interestingly no fixtures yet issued for Easter Weekend. Not exactly "all" of course - the Yoker v Wishaw Junior Cup tie will try again next Saturday (postponing Yoker v Port Glasgow in the league, whilst Wishaw had no game due anyway) and the 7th April CLC R1 fixtures should have Yoker v Shettleston added back in.

Markka Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Still have the West second round (in some cases the first maybe?) to fit in too. We're still to play Greenock in the the first round. From memory there are two other first round ties still to be played and the matches aren't scheduled at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADLNeutral Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The powers that be should now extend the season or teams will be playing 3 or 4 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new season is supposed to be starting on 28th July ! They need to do something. Make a start by abandoning the Central League cup. There is no sponsor , no money, no Central League and no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theapprentice Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They need to cancel the diddy cups this year due to the league back log, exceptional circumstances etc etc. They cannot have teams playing 4 times a week for 6/7 weeks it will make a mockery of the end result. This year there is far too much at stake for teams given the restructuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 fixture chaos at the end of the season as folk stated, that's what happens when you try and play 792 cup competitions in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 As none of the 1st or 2nd round Central League Cup matches have been played yet, and the tournament is likely to be scrapped this summer anyway, then I wouldn't have any issue with it being cancelled this season due to exceptional circumstances.

21stcenturyboy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Probably too late now that fixtures have been set but why not reschedule fixtures for 7th of April for League games. We could have the Central League cup fixtures played on Monday nights - maybe starting on the 16th of April - the Final could be on a Friday night at the start on June. Means that teams with a backlog - eg Wishaw - would be able to prioritise tournaments - teams that go out of Central Cup and have backlog can be scheduled for future Monday nights if backlog.

21stcenturyboy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Or even play the west of Scotland ties on the 7th as some of these will involve more travel than the central ties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
